Animals tend to have an innate sensibility that helps them avoid danger . Anyone who has ever seen the build up to a cyclone will know that the birds hop ship long before the shit hits the fan, which is why we’re going to trust the sharks (and other animals) who call Kavachi home.
The underwater volcano, located in the Southwest Pacific Ocean, was last active in January 2014 and researchers were perplexed to find some marine species calling it home. They sent a camera deep into the depths and their footage captured three separate species: the scalloped hammerhead shark, the silky shark and the sixgill stingray. Below from The Dodo:
“When it’s erupting, there’s no way anything could live in there,” says ocean engineer Brennan Phillips in the video…That’s what makes discovering these animals down inside the volcano so perplexing. They’re living in a place where they could “die at any moment,” so how do they survive?
“Do they leave? Do they have some sort of sign that it’s about to erupt? Do they blow up sky-high in little bits?” The researchers arrived with one question and returned with many.
Looks like there is still much work to be done on the research side but for now let’s just doff our caps to these risqué ocean creatures.
Just by the by if you were thinking of making a movie about this you’ve been beaten to the punch…
